Don't blame Colonel' Hmiti, for clinging to free 8ilver. Wlmt is there left for lif in to Iibiik on to ? Onk of these days New Jersey will charter a comimny to usurp the earth. There is nothing too large for the average Jerseyiimn. Thosk in and about the court h6uee are patiently awaiting another sur prise in connection with .the District Attorneyship, they come so often these days. JnnitY Simpson is of opinion that the 10 to 1 fail has been worked out. This is an indication that Jerry is not as ignorant as he looks, and that he is not inclined to waste his energies in the pursuit of dend issues. So the Honorable Angnstavus Schrink is to be the next postmaster at the county seat ! Well, this is in line with the surprises that emanate from the "seat of culture and learn ing," but McAdoo citizens would hardly submit to such indignities. Tutl cause of AVoman Suffrage has been given a boom by the message of Gov. Koosevelt of New York. The Governor does not say that ho is in favor of the principle of universal suffrage for women, but he does inti mate that there might be an exten sion of the privilege, in certain direc tions, which would prove of benefit to the community. Hon. Richard Cuokkii, of New York, having once more firmly es tablished himself lis the leader of the Greater New York Democracy, and having made a show of controlling the Democratic party of his state, lias now reached out and is making an effort to wrest the Democracy of the nation from its erstwhile idol, "William J. Bryan, and to take it under his protecting care. The contest in the ranks of the Democracy will be watched with keenest interest by the people of the country especially so since Croker has come out ilat-footed for gold and expansion. Voters Press the Button. ' In nearly all large business estab lishments now there are counting machines which add, multiply and divide and save lots of drudgery in the summing up of transactions in volving many figures. The same . principle is about to be applied to elections by means of voting mach ines. In the city of Rochester, N. Y., at the recent election 72 such machines were In use. To vote by means of them the voter entered a booth and instead of making scratohes on vari ous portions of a printed ballot he pressed a button opposite the name of the candidate for whom he wished to cast his ballot. By means of an electric current his vote was im mediately registered and added to the sum already cast for the cojidi date, just as the register In the car counts the fares. The machine has a device that prevents repeating. At the end of the voting day, where these machines are used, the dial is consulted, and there the total vote for that particular candidate is an nounced in pluin figures. There is no counting to be done. It has all been attended to by the machine as the voting was going on. If the polls close at 7 o'clock, at one minute after seven the result in the precmot can be announced and forwarded to the centers of information where the general results are compiled. Wonderful as it seems, it is attained ly the employment and adaptation of principles and mechanisms now in daily use. Aside from its quioknesH, which so commends it to M rapid age, It has elements ,of aoouraoy and economy, and there seems little ques tlon but that before the new oentury is yery old the ballot will give place to the button.

A serious and dangerous disease prevails in this country, dangerous because so decep tive. It comes on so slowly yet surely that it is often firmly seated before we are aware of it. The name of this disease which may be divided into three distinct stuges is, First, Kidney trouble, indicated by pain in llie back, rheumatism, lumbago, frequent desire to urinate often with a burning sensation, the flow of urine being copious or scant with strong odor. ' If allowed to "advance, this readies the Second stage, or Uladder trouble, with heavy pain in the abdomen low down between the navel and the water passage, increasing de sire to urinate, with scalding sensation in pasjing, small quantities being passed with difficulty, sometimes necessary to draw it with instruments. If uric acid or gravel has formed, it will prove dangerous if neglected. The Third staee is Bright's Disease. There is comfort in knowing that Dr. Kilmer, the great kidney and bladder specialist, lias discovered a Remedy famous for its marvelous cures of the most distressing cases and known as Dr. Kilmer's Swamp- Root. It is sold by all druggists.
